In this watery simulation of an episode, Matt and Chris uncover the true purpose of Scott Adams' existence: not to shape reality, but to provide training data for future AIs working on plumbing-related problems. Somewhere in a cosmic server farm, Scott is endlessly confronted with blocked drains, dripping faucets, and municipal water conspiracies, while his “insights” fuel the next generation of household maintenance bots.Against this surreal backdrop, Naval Ravikant enters the scene — investor, tweeter, self-styled philosopher, and, in practice, just another discourse surfer riding the waves of online conspiracism. The conversation opens with a familiar chorus of right-wing talking points, drifts into feverish speculation about lawfare, censorship, and “imported voters,” and finally winds down in the dim light of dorm-room metaphysics, where slogans like “happiness is a choice” are served up as if they were profound insights.Naval presents himself as a detached sage, offering a boutique blend of political commentary and Daoist-tinged wisdom. In reality, he delivers little more than predictable polemics and recycled aphorisms. Imagining himself a great man of history dispensing lyrical truths in tweet-sized form, he produces nothing that rises above the usual culture-war debris. The posture is Buddha-with-a-smartphone; the reality is a credulous tech elite mistaking his own Twitter feed for a philosophy seminar.What follows is Elon-as-Ben-Franklin fanboying, Trump rebranded as a “bottom-up” leader of the people, and a level of self-congratulation so thick it could be used to terraform Mars. By the end, you may find yourself nostalgic for the leaky pipes in Scott's simulation — at least they produce real water...SourcesModern Wisdom (Chris Williamson): 44 Harsh Truths About The Game Of Life - Naval Ravikant (4K)Real Coffee with Scott Adams: Conversation with Naval Ravikant

Last week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, “Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes”. Altman compared the widespread interest over Artificial Intelligence today, to the “tech bubble” of the late 1990s. But, the Magnificent 7 companies' valuations today are less than half what the top five technology companies were, at the peak of the dot-com bubble.With over 90% of S&P 500 index companies having already reported their Q2 results, earnings growth is settling in at 12.0%, and the consensus forecast of 4.8% for Q3 is starting to look too low. Higher-than-expected July producer prices and nominal retail sales may both be signalling that the full impact of tariffs is yet to come. We expect producers to pass on the increased cost to consumers in the months ahead.

Is the future of finance programmable? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Ryan Galvankar, founder of Plaza Finance, to explore how programmable derivatives and on-chain bonds are reshaping the way we think about risk, leverage, and asset management in crypto. Plaza Finance isn't just another DeFi protocol. Since launching its core system on Base in April 2025, the team has introduced two standout tokens: bondETH and levETH. These programmable derivative tokens split Ethereum into customizable risk profiles, allowing both institutional and retail investors to choose their exposure with precision. Under Ryan's leadership, Plaza has already attracted over 600,000 testnet users, $2 million in early deposits, and $2.5 million in pre-seed funding. Ryan explains why this matters. Today's DeFi tools tend to sit at either extreme—ultra-safe or wildly speculative. Plaza aims to bridge that gap with products that reflect the diversity of traditional finance, yet remain liquid and composable across Ethereum's ecosystem. He also shares why Ethereum staking plays a central role, and how integrations with lending platforms and cross-chain bridges will make these tokens even more powerful. But Ryan doesn't stop at structured investing. He also launched OptFun, an ultra-short-term options trading platform that hit nearly $1 billion in trading volume within a month. It appeals to crypto natives seeking high-volatility speculation in a fair, on-chain environment. Together, these two platforms reflect what Ryan sees as a split in the future of DeFi: one track of thoughtful, long-term financial products that institutions will trust, and another track of high-speed, high-risk experimentation for users who live for volatility. He also gives his take on the rise of tokenized real-world assets, AI-generated portfolios, and what it will take to truly decentralize the next generation of finance. Whether you're deep into DeFi or still watching from the sidelines, this conversation sheds light on a pivotal moment where programmable finance is becoming real, and access to tailored financial tools is expanding faster than ever.

How did Google become one of the most powerful forces in advertising—and what happens when that power crosses the line? Ari Paparo, ad tech veteran, Marketecture founder, and author of Yield: How Google Bought, Built, and Bullied Its Way to Advertising Dominance, takes us inside the deals, innovations, and strong-arm tactics that reshaped the industry. From behind-the-scenes stories of the “Rocket Docket” antitrust trial to the coming AI disruption of search, Ari shares candid insights on market dominance, branding, and the future of digital advertising. How Google bought, built, and bullied its way to dominance in the ad tech industry — and why multiple governments have called its behavior monopolistic What happened inside the Virginia “Rocket Docket” antitrust trial that inspired Ari's book Yield, including behind-the-scenes stories from the courtroom How Google's market power has steamrolled smaller ad tech companies and shaped the open web — and what might change if regulators break it up Why AI and large language models could disrupt Google's search dominance for the first time in decades, reshaping SEO, SEM, and marketing strategy The branding lesson Ari took from clothing retailer Buck Mason — and why a perfectly on-the-nose brand experience can leave a lasting impression Ari Paparo began his career in digital advertising during the early days of the internet and went on to shape how online ads work today.

Despite describing himself as “not a big clothes person” who usually dresses like a slob, he was struck by how perfectly the brand nailed its vibe: black T-shirts, a classic car parked in the middle of the store, art books casually scattered yet deliberately placed, and even a liquor bar to loosen wallets. Founded less than a decade ago in Venice Beach, Buck Mason impressed Ari as a masterclass in creating a brand experience so spot-on it feels like it was built in a lab for its ideal customer.

Joining Paul on the podcast is Doctor Michael Amendola, who is the Chief of Vascular Surgery at the Central Virginia VA Healthcare System in Richmond, Virginia. Michael is from the Richmond area and went to William and Mary for his undergraduate degree as well as a masters in Chemistry. He spent some time after college up working in pharmaceuticals in New Jersey and then in 1998, he came back to Richmond and started medical school. He completed medical school and seven additional years of study here in Richmond and then moved to Georgia. In 2011, he moved back to Richmond and took a position and started practicing medicine in the federal system at the Veterans Administration Hospital. Paul and Michael talked about viruses such as AIDS and Covid-19. They spent some time discussing AI and 3-D printing and the effect that both have, are and will have on general medicine and surgery, vascular surgery and the work Dr. Amendola and his team are doing at the Veterans Administration. They also discussed his upbringing and how things he learned from his parents started him on this path of working with his hands and in being an educator. They finished by talking about what he is looking forward to in the next 3-5 years as well as some job advice for Paul's son Zach.

AI promises efficiency, innovation, and new opportunities - but are companies moving too fast in the rush to adopt it? The risks are very real, from false content to flawed decision-making, and the global regulatory patchwork is only getting more complex. The challenge now is building governance and compliance frameworks that keep pace without stifling progress.In this episode of Corruption, Crime, and Compliance, Michael Volkov explains why an AI compliance program is essential to corporate governance today.You'll hear him discuss:Why companies need to start with a clear use case and weigh benefits against potential legal and compliance risks before rolling out AIThe evolving patchwork of regulations, including the FTC, state-level laws in the US, and the EU's AI ActHow sector-specific rules in healthcare, financial services, and defense add new layers of complexityThe two biggest risks: AI-generated false content that can cause liability and reputational harm, and decision-making systems that create unfair or discriminatory resultsWhat strong AI governance looks like, from board oversight and compliance officers to clear policies and cross-functional committeesThe role of training, documentation, and incident reporting in ensuring responsible, transparent AI useWhy embedding responsible AI into company values and employee performance reviews helps build a culture of accountabilityResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

The Trump Administration has vowed to make "Make trade schools great again.” Part of their plan includes making billions of dollars available for trade schools by rerouting grant money and adjusting 529 college savings plan laws. This comes at a time when American companies are begging for electricians, welders, and others who can fill the essential jobs needed to fuel growing industries of the future like artificial intelligence. Dr. Jason Altmire, former Pennsylvania Congressman and current President and CEO of Career Education Colleges and Universities, recently joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the growing popularity of trade schools and the growing demand for their graduates. Dr. Altmire explained the importance of skilled labor to the economy, how the perception of choosing a trade over college has shifted over the decades, and how AI could impact white and blue-collar jobs. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire conversation with Dr. Jason Altmire and allow you to hear even more about the trade schools and the future of America's labor force.

Have we really done 300 episodes of this podcast? We have now! To mark the occasion, we're taking a look back at a lot of the things that have changed in the tech world since we posted our first ep in September 2019. Turns out, uh, a lot has happened since then, from scammy Valley bros pivoting through crypto, NFTs, and AI, to streaming services going from beloved to reviled, electric vehicles actually becoming a practical thing, a lot of unsuccessful attempts to knock the dominant social platforms off their pedestals, handheld gaming becoming incredibly robust, and a bunch of other trends to consider.

One of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the twentieth century is set to become one of the biggest threats of the twenty-first - but what can be done to stem the rising tide of antibiotic resistance? In this episode, host Caroline Dodds Pennock speaks with Liam Shaw, biologist and author of Dangerous Miracle: A Natural History of Antibiotics – and How We Burned Through Them. From the miraculous discovery of penicillin to the industrial-scale production that changed healthcare and agriculture forever, Shaw takes us through the fascinating - and cautionary - story of these ‘fossil fuels of medicine.' Together, they explore when and how the threat of resistance emerged, the roles of Big Pharma and industrial farming in accelerating the crisis, and the parallels with climate change in how we've squandered a finite resource. But as MIT researchers recently announced a breakthrough with AI designing antibiotics for gonorrhoea and MRSA superbugs, Shaw also outlines clear roadmaps for the future - including bold proposals for transforming the way we develop, patent and pay for antibiotics.

Psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "In medicine and law, professions that society relies upon for accuracy." He argues that labeling AI errors as "hallucinations" is a dangerous euphemism that trivializes real psychiatric conditions and downplays the serious threat these errors pose to professions built on trust. He insists on using the term "fabrications" to accurately describe the plausible-sounding but often entirely false information generated by large language models. Citing alarming examples, including a study where 47 percent of AI-generated medical citations were fake and a legal case built on invented precedents, Muhamad explains how these fabrications directly threaten patient safety and justice. With no clear accountability for algorithmic errors, he calls for urgent action, including rigorous education on AI's limitations, mandatory disclosure of its use, and a commitment to terminology that reflects the ethical gravity of the problem.

In Episode 90 of the Digital Velocity Podcast, Erik Martinez speaks with Lucas Petty, founder and CEO of AI Daddy, about how companies can strategically integrate artificial intelligence in their business and marketing processes to drive growth, innovation, and long-term success. Lucas shares his personal journey from having his own startup disrupted by AI to becoming an AI strategist and educator helping businesses adopt these transformative tools. This conversation dives into why many organizations are still only dabbling with AI, and how fear, habit, and misconceptions often prevent meaningful adoption Lucas outlines a practical four-step framework for adoption—People, Process, Strategy, Tools—that enables teams to identify real pain points, build effective workflows, and achieve measurable ROI with human teams and AI working collaboratively together. Listeners will learn: • Why automating tasks without a people-first mindset leads to stagnation • How to reframe AI adoption as change management rather than tool exploration • The difference between horizontal AI tools (like chatbots, note takers, and researchers) and vertical, function-specific AI use cases • Why simplifying AI governance and training employees on privacy settings is critical to protecting IP • How successful AI adoption has helped companies realize revenue growth of 50% or more without additional staff Whether you're leading a DTC brand, scaling a marketing team, or rethinking enterprise processes, this episode offers a roadmap to integrate AI thoughtfully, balance efficiency with human expertise, and future-proof your business in an era of rapid technological change.

Send us a textThe moment Aaron Plush was pulled from his second-grade classroom to test early Macintosh computers, his path in technology was set. This formative experience sparked a journey that would lead him through global program management roles and transformational leadership positions at major corporations like Citrix.Aaron brings a refreshingly authentic approach to the complex world of project management and organizational transformation. His methodology begins with something surprisingly simple yet often overlooked: listening. "There's no bigger mistake any leader can make than implementing change without understanding the organization's landscape," he explains. This people-centric philosophy has become his hallmark in an industry often dominated by technical solutions seeking problems.What makes Aaron's approach particularly powerful is his integrated leadership style that seamlessly blends faith, discipline, and business acumen. When managing high-stakes initiatives, he maintains perspective through methodical execution: "We don't take the entire plate and throw it in our face. We do it bite-sized pieces." This calm, measured approach, combined with radical accountability, has proven effective across Fortune 500 companies and complex technology implementations.His perspective on emerging technologies like AI is equally thoughtful. Rather than focusing on the technology itself, Aaron emphasizes understanding the problem first, then leveraging AI as an enhancement tool. "It's about using technology for the purposes of what you need it for," he advises, encouraging adoption without fear.Perhaps most compelling is Aaron's commitment to developing others. When asked what qualities he looks for in mentees, his answer is striking: "I don't." Anyone expressing a desire to grow receives his support, regardless of their current position or potential. This generosity of spirit extends to his view of success itself—"my journey is about bringing others along with me."Connect with Aaron at www.aaronrplush.com or through his Authentic Realness podcast to learn more about his approach to leadership, technology, and personal development. His story reminds us that even in our increasingly digital world, authentic human connection remains the foundation of meaningful transformation.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

What does it take to build intelligent systems that are not only AI-powered but also secure, scalable, and grounded in real-world needs? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Srinivas Chippagiri, a senior technology leader and author of Building Intelligent Systems with AI and Cloud Technologies. With over a decade of experience spanning Wipro, GE Healthcare, Siemens, and now Tableau at Salesforce, Srinivas offers a practical view into how AI and cloud infrastructure are evolving together. We explore how AI is changing cloud-native development through predictive maintenance, automated DevOps pipelines, and developer co-pilots. But this is not just about technology. Srinivas highlights why responsible AI needs to be part of every system design, sharing examples from his own research into anomaly detection, fuzzy logic, and explainable models that support trust in regulated industries. The conversation also covers the rise of hybrid and edge computing, the real challenges of data fragmentation and compute costs, and how teams are adapting with new skills like prompt engineering and model observability. Srinivas gives a thoughtful view on what ethical AI deployment looks like in practice, from bias audits to AI governance boards. For those looking to break into this space, his advice is refreshingly clear. Start with small, end-to-end projects. Learn by doing. Contribute to open-source communities. And stay curious. Whether you're scaling AI systems, building a career in cloud tech, or just trying to keep pace with fast-moving trends, this episode offers a grounded and insightful guide to where things are heading next. Srinivas's book is available on Amazon under Building Intelligent Systems with AI and Cloud Technologies, and you can connect with him on LinkedIn to continue the conversation.

The Vedic Astrology Mentorship is OPEN for enrollment! ⁠https://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorship⁠Become a Certified Vedic Astrologer – everything you need to learn astrology in depth, make accurate predictions, and give great readings.This week we enter one of the most powerful turning points of the year with two major transits: the Moon exalted in Taurus and the New Moon in Leo with Ketu, which begins the six-week Eclipse Portal—the second and final eclipse season of 2025. This is a big transformational time, and in this episode I'll guide you through how to work with these shifts in a grounded, practical way.On Sunday, August 17th, the Moon is exalted in Taurus, bringing a nourishing influence. This is a great day for meditation, yoga nidra, massage, aromatherapy, or simply tending to your body and emotions. Exalted Moon days remind us to slow down and do something truly restorative.By Wednesday, August 20th, Venus moves into Cancer, joining Mercury and the Moon. Venus is love, beauty, art, and pleasure. Cancer is nourishment and care. Together, they invite more tenderness into relationships, intimacy, and creativity. It's an excellent time for art, music, dance, and romance. The caution is “comfort spending” as a substitute for addressing deeper needs. If directed consciously, this is excellent energy for self-care and meaningful connection.Then, on Saturday, August 23rd, we step into the Eclipse Portal with the New Moon in Leo conjunct Ketu. New Moons are beginnings, but with Ketu there, it's also about letting go—shedding old ego identities, control, and attachments to who we think we are. The next six weeks are about surrender and preparing for a new timeline. With Rahu in Aquarius opposite, the energy calls us into something bigger: a more global, innovative, and interconnected future.This eclipse cycle asks: What roles, attachments, and identities are you ready to release so you can grow into your next chapter? For some, this may mean changes in career, home, or relationship. For others, it may be a subtle inner shift. Either way, eclipse seasons bring fated opportunities for transformation, especially if you have strong placements in Leo or Aquarius.Astrology gives us perspective on how to navigate these times. Just as the internet reshaped society 30 years ago, AI and financial shifts are reshaping us now. The key is not to get lost in overwhelm, but to reset. Journaling prompts for this eclipse: What am I ready to let go of? What would I keep doing even if no one paid me? Where do I feel most aligned?And if you're ready to go deeper, the Vedic Astrology Mentorship is open now. We begin Saturday, August 23rd on the New Moon. This is where I share everything I've learned in 19 years of practice—thousands of charts, research, and case studies—all in one clear path. You'll learn step by step how to read charts, make accurate predictions, and give great readings with confidence.You'll get direct access to me, live calls, a private WhatsApp group, accountability partners, and my full tables of positive and negative expressions of every placement. Whether you want to give readings professionally or simply deepen your self-understanding, this program gives you a foundation that will last a lifetime.-----Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram:⁠ http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube⁠: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship:⁠ http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yoga

Ann Westerheim, founder and president of Ekaru, discusses the concept of "last mile services" in technology, emphasizing the importance of making advanced IT and cybersecurity accessible to small businesses. Drawing from her background in the semiconductor industry, she highlights the gap between cutting-edge technology and its practical application for Main Street USA businesses. Her approach focuses on empowering clients to improve their cybersecurity posture through simple, actionable steps, such as implementing strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.Westerheim introduces her CyberFit 21-day program, designed to demystify cybersecurity for non-technical users. She aims to replace the overwhelming jargon of the tech industry with relatable concepts that resonate with small business owners. By simplifying complex topics, she helps clients understand the risks they face and the straightforward measures they can take to mitigate them. This approach not only educates but also empowers clients to take control of their cybersecurity.The conversation shifts to the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on cybersecurity, particularly in phishing attacks. Westerheim notes that AI is being used to create highly sophisticated phishing emails that are indistinguishable from legitimate communications. She emphasizes the need for businesses to establish acceptable use policies regarding AI and to educate employees about the potential security risks associated with its use. This proactive approach is crucial as many employees may be using AI tools without understanding the implications.As the discussion wraps up, Westerheim reflects on the current mood among small business clients, who are feeling overwhelmed by rapid technological changes and external economic pressures. She stresses the importance of taking small, manageable steps to adapt to these changes rather than succumbing to paralysis by analysis. By fostering open dialogues about technology and security, she aims to guide her clients through this period of uncertainty, helping them to embrace the opportunities that come with technological advancements.

U drugom delu razgovora sa Milovanom Dekićem otkrivamo kako izgleda svet korisničkog istraživanja u industriji video igara i kako se ta disciplina razvijala u Nordeusu tokom protekle decenije. Milovan nas vodi kroz svoje početke, potragu za znanjem i praksama u vreme kada gotovo da nije bilo izvora, saradnju sa britanskim Player Research timom i prve eksperimente testiranja igara. Govori o tome kako se postavljaju i proveravaju hipoteze da bi se unapredilo igračko iskustvo, kako se beleže i tumače reakcije igrača – od fokusa do zevanja – i kako se pronalazi ravnoteža između zabave, profita i dugoročne relevantnosti. Kroz razgovor se otvaraju teme kulturnih razlika među igračima, različitih gejmerskih motivacija i načina na koji agilni timovi, vođeni znatiželjom i podacima u realnom vremenu, prilagođavaju proizvode milionima ljudi širom sveta. Ovo je priča o spajanju sociologije, psihologije, dizajna i tehnologije u stvaranju igara koje ljudi žele da igraju godinama. O čemu smo pričali: - Najava razgovora - Početak razgovora - Biznis modeli igara - Testiranje u razvoju igara - Prilagođavanje igre korisnicima - Globalno prilagođavanje igre - Biznis i profit u igrama - Design thinking - Radionice i treninzi - Procena dobrih ideja - Pametno skaliranje - Karte za učenje - AI i Design thinking Podržite nas na BuyMeACoffee: https://bit.ly/3uSBmoa Pročitajte transkript ove epizode: https://bit.ly/3JhrDUB Posetite naš sajt i prijavite se na našu mailing listu: http://bit.ly/2LUKSBG Prijavite se na naš YouTube kanal: http://bit.ly/2Rgnu7o Pratite Pojačalo na društvenim mrežama: Facebook: http://bit.ly/2FfwqCR Twitter: http://bit.ly/2CVZoGr Instagram: http://bit.ly/2RzGHjN
